Un animal rempli de modestie... is a 1856 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a man in a kitchen, wearing a chef's uniform and beret. He's holding a rope attached to an animal that's mostly out of sight. The man's simple surroundings and humble expression make this scene interesting, and it shows what everyday life might have looked like back then. You can learn more about the artist who created this, artist: Daumier, Honoré.
Honoré-Victorin Daumier was a French painter, sculptor, and printmaker, whose many works offer commentary on the social and political life in France, from the Revolution of 1830 to the fall of the Second French Empire in 1870.
